Hey, I was just downloading some files from mega and I noticed that megadownloader shows error after downloading 5GB.
2017-06-03T13:56:10:133 [ID#28] >>> Connection error when downloading file avr-G0T.S05E08.Hardhome.1080p.bluray.HEVC.AAC.5.1.x265.mkv - System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (509) Bandwidth Limit Exceeded.
at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()
at MegaDownloader.FileDownloader.ChunkDownloader_DoWork(Object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
Also while trying to download files with megatools I get error 509 which is basically the same.
Do any of you have this issue as well or is it just me?
~~EDIT: I get the same error with jdownloader as well, although it never really worked for me~~
~~EDIT 2: So far, the only way to download from mega is with using VPN and switching your IP every 5GB's~~
EDIT 3:
Mega patched the bypass for bandwidth limit which megadownloader and many other downloaders were using so we are no longer to able to download large files (5gb+) without changing IP address.
Programs confirmed not working: Megadownloader, megatools, jdownloader, mipony.
Currently only ways to download files that exceed 5GB in size are:
1.Using VPN and megadownloader. Once you get the error stop your downloads, exit megadownloader, turn on VPN and switch to a different location, open megadownloader again and resume. Downloads should continue fine. download speed I'm getting with free VPN(it is throttled by a lot, but at least it works)
2.Using VPN and megasync. Import files to your account and start downloading with megasync. When the 5gb limit is met use your VPN to switch location. Download should resume in a couple of seconds. (credit: /u/WrenchMonkey319)
3.If you have a dynamic IP, you can reset your router or use Reset-TCPIP.exe (credit: /u/Vitus1992)
I will continue to update this post as new info comes along. Our only solutions so far are that someone hopefully finds another bypass(highly doubtful), or migrating to a different host.

You can still download as much as you like. Read the HowTo above. I have downloaded 100 GB in the last few days. And I am still able to download big files > 5 GB - like the 14 GB file I am downloading right now.
Well boys, the gravy train is over. It's been real. Thanks to all the contributors that post here. See you at the next good download site.
[-] Badcatalex | 2 points
I feel like that's mediafire.
I'm now able to "bypass" the 5gb limit by just getting a new local ip + rebooting my laptop... Weird, I know, but I figured out this was possible when the 5gb limit wasn't network wide.
Edit: I created a batch script on Windows, containing these lines. This is how I get around the current limit. Be sure to run this as an administrator.
@echo off
ipconfig /release >nul
ipconfig /renew >nul
netsh int ip delete arpcache >nul
netsh int ip reset >nul
netsh winsock reset >nul
for /F "skip=3 tokens=1,2,3* delims= " %%G in ('netsh interface show interface') DO (
IF "%%H"=="Connected" netsh interface set interface "%%J" disabled
) >nul
for /F "skip=3 tokens=1,2,3* delims= " %%G in ('netsh interface show interface') DO (
IF "%%H"=="Disconnected" netsh interface set interface "%%J" enabled
) >nul
All of my downloading is automated on another computer, so it would be great if I could get jdownloader or megadownloader to run this batch file when the download stops...
Edit 2: Almost 300gb downloaded with this method so far. Why the downvotes? I know someone smarter than me can create a cross-platform solution, and remove the need for rebooting.
Edit 3: Works without rebooting as of now!

this doesn't work for me ,would a static ip be the reason? my isp gives everyone a static ip
[-] TimeLord-007 | 3 points
I think jdownloader can run custom scripts. Try going to the reconnect settings. I don't know how it will handle the restart though. You might need to make another script which opens jdownloader and resumes the download upon startup.
Edit: Just confirmed that jdownloader can run windows batch scripts, still, you might need to have a new startup script to start jdownloader.
Ah! True. Also, I may be able to remove the whole reboot step. There was a time when I was testing this that the download started again, before the reboot had a chance to start... I'll keep my original comment updated if I find a fix.
[-] TimeLord-007 | 1 points
Then it'll be fine I think. Just found out that I have a forced static IP by my ISP. Hopefully you can work through it!
I just tried this and it works perfectly. Many thanks!
Edit: I tried again and it didn't work this time, idk.
jdownloader has a built in reconnect function.. it runs a script and changes the IP address .

As of 2nd July 2018, this method doesn't work for me. My network card kind of "reboots" but always gets the same DHCP IP from the router. TBH, this did feel like too good to be true considering it said that I will need no kind of reboot, BUT this is the first I am downloading through MEGA.NZ and I have already downloaded a 6.3 GB file from MEGA and needed to download another file of 6.5GB and Jdownloader2 threw the error which brought me here.
I've officially finished my MegaDownloader bypass for Windows.
No reboot required, of your computer, router or modem.
If you would like to test it out, here's the github.
So far, I've tested on about 4 machines, if this doesn't work for you let me know!
Edit: This ONLY works because of a bug on MEGAs side when using Megadownloader.

It works for me but i have to turn off my modem/router manually. What i did to get it to work was, run the Bat file as Administer, then logged out fully of Megadownloader, then i turned my modem/router off and back on. Redid the bat file as Administer and finally reloaded Megadownloader as Administer. Works every time i do that. Its a pain, but at least i dont have to wait every 6 to 8 hours.

what does this do to the internet? My computer says the .bat files are likely to harm my pc. Thanks for the effort anyway.
You can open the file with notepad and see what it does, if you're not trusting of it. A batch file is just a list of commands pretty much. But to the point, what this does is reset your network device on your computer only. It's a glorified reboot, without rebooting. Somehow this resets your limit with MEGA.

Otherwise back onto the topic in general, when I intermittently use Mega-related links such as in the past few days with the discussed Mega-changes, it's a blend of paid VPN with IP-switching/megatools (see /r/megalinks side bar) and paid premium multi-hosters that support single/multi-part direct mega links (i.e. not encrypted/multi-directory folders, most have daily-total bandwidth limitations to popular non-mega hosts such as uploaded/rapidgator but are generally unlimited to Mega itself).
Be weary of the premium links generators / cbox-related, these worked the same as Megadownloader, by clearing the appid/session id to be able to bypass the traffic limit. I doubt any of them paid for the traffic since this trick was for free. Paying them would mean getting ripped of.
[-] ravvydevvy | 1 points
Good reminder points, they [cbox & non-paid/free premium link generators] might be useful for a few direct & random sub-2-3gb Mega links at best depending on what that specific site states on allowance/limitations... a
Rather than giving a blanket suggestion to just try those types of sites out, it was noted that they were 100% ad-based (i.e. those sites get paid for the redirect shortner link services that display ads on the countdown based on the clicks and ad-impressions).

[-] R3a1ityCheque | 25 points
If we're discussing alternative hosts then maybe we should look at the idea of decentralizing it all, otherwise we'll run into this again at some stage in the future.
The best example I can think of is what fitgirl does with her (or his, who knows!) game repacks. She splits the files into multiple rars and then uploads to multiple hosts using multiupload (https://www.multiup.eu/). All the files are compatible with each other, so if one gets taken down there'll almost always be a second or third replacement available and it solves some of the bandwidth/storage limits by distributing among multiple hosts. The only downside is that some of the hosts are a little shitty in terms of ads or slower speeds, but again you can ignore those hosts in favor of others. I've used this system to download several of her repacks and its worked pretty well, particularly for big files.
Any thoughts on this?

Lol. So p2p/Torrenting
Well this is the best solution so far.
The problem with this is credibility.
When I see random download sites, my bullshit detector immediately starts going off. There are a million of them, and so many of them are sleazy traps.
One of the nice things about mega (in the past) was that you knew you would get decent speeds and not have to deal with any of the bullshit with malware automatically bundled into downloads or sites dripping with browser exploits. When I see a link to noreallytrustusitsfine.ru instead, there's a definite downside.
You can use JDownloader.
[-] ipaqmaster | 4 points
You could make torrents with multiple trackers so if a site gets taken down they still work! ...and (get this right) share the links
[-] DanTheMan827 | 1 points
What about trackerless torrents?
[-] ipaqmaster | 2 points
In your post you'd need to include your IP and port you've opened for seeding. All users trying to download would need to enter this info themselves rather than automatic random ports etc
[-] DanTheMan827 | 1 points
What about DHT, PeX, and LSD?
[-] ipaqmaster | 1 points
You're completely right I have no idea how I forgot they exist. DHT Alone is typically enough to resolve a torrent.
You could totally just post each other magnet links But I suppose the downside with torrents over all would be your single internet connection > 50+ downloads and unlikely to seed whereas uploading to Mega and using their datacentres to distribute. I might as well upload to my VPS In Sydney and share the link with you guys to achieve the same effect, or let it seed itself from that point on etc.

For some crazy reason, the free account transfer cap was enforced by the mega browser plugin. The thirdparty downloader tools didn't cap you and the mega server just assumed the plugin would handle it. It looks like they've finally changed the server end to enforce the transfer caps.

Are we sure the MEGA server behavior is based solely on IP address?
Speaking as a developer, it is usually not a very good idea to design server rules solely around IP address alone because it is quite common for a single IP address to represent whole groups of people (think companies, etc.) and not a single individual. Limiting by IP address alone is thus usually not effective/proper and what we normally do is use something like IP address in combination with, e.g. User-Agent or other HTTP headers that more uniquely identify a person.
So, have we tried rotating User-Agent header? other HTTP headers? to see if that gets around the block?
[-] Uniquestusername | 4 points
In my hostel all of us share a single high bandwidth connection and therefore an IP address. Mega was unusable without megadownloader since about 300 of us have a limit of 5gb a day.
If they were looking at anything other then IP they would know it was independent users sharing a connection no?
[-] slowmotionrunner | 2 points
Let me be clear that I'm speculating here... I don't have any proof of this, but here's how I see it:
This situation in your hostel is very, very common. In places all over the world, there are many instances where multiple people have the same IP address because they all share the same network: hostels, hotels, companies, apartment buildings, dorms, coffee shops, homes, etc. It would be very, very bad programming (and business) IMO for MEGA to build logic based solely on IP address alone because it would potentially block millions and millions of users who share an IP address. For example, you use up the 5 GB limit and now nobody else in the hostel can use MEGA? That doesn't make sense.
So, what is typically done is that they identify an user, not solely on IP address, but on IP address and something else. It's that something else that I'm interested in. If we can identify what that is, we might be able to randomly generate it, rotate it around, spoof it, etc. so that a single IP address and multiple something elses can look like multiple users and thus get around the 5 GB limit.
In fact, you can help me prove this theory. If you and your buddies at the hostel can collectively download more than 5 GB it means that MEGA isn't identifying users by IP address alone because you all share the same IP address. For example, you download 5 GB, your next friend 5 GB more, and 5 GB after that for a total of 15 GB -- that would mean that a single IP address can download more that 5 GB.
[-] Uniquestusername | 3 points
Sorry I wasn't clear in my first post. I meant 300 of us have a limit of 5gb a day as in all of us, collectively, can only download 5gb a day. If I download 2gb and my friend downloads 3gb, that's it. The whole hostel gets the bandwidth exceeded message with an 8 hour timer or something.
One thing to note though, is that when I used the mega app, I could get around the limit. This is useless for big files though, as my phone's file format system can't handle downloads bigger than 4gb. So if I download a 6gb file, it consumes 6gigs of data, but after it crosses 3.99gb, I think it starts overwriting the already downloaded parts. This is based on the fact that at the end of the download the file has a size of 3.99gb and seems to be corrupted.
This is from a couple of months ago though so maybe they've patched it now.
Anyway, I hope this proves they're only using IP.
Are sure everyone get same IP? IP address should be unique for every device.
Try let your friends check IP with this http://api.ipify.org Everyone should get different IP
[-] I_cant_talk | 2 points
They would all need a unique IP for each device locally. Externally they could all use the same one.
One external/global IP address assigned to the primary router, after that they get internal/local IP's. That's normal for a dorm... no ISP provides 300 global IP for just one plan, be it the best and most expensive. At most I had a plan with 32 global IP's from my ISP, but each devices had to go through the same switch for the ISP to get unique MACs and return unique global IP's, not the most ideal unless a very expensive switch was used capable of handling the traffic.
[-] Uniquestusername | 1 points
We're all on a common server. We take lan cables from the server to routers in our rooms. It's faster than the hostel wide wifi.
I can't check cause I'm not at the hostel (summer break). It did say your IP has exceeded the bandwidth though and I can't think why else all of us would get locked out like that.
Maybe they check the IP of the first device which in this case would be our server? In a home I guess that would be the router.
Yeah, it's just the IP address... and if you're talking about companies, then they can pay for it and throw that under costs of operation.
The big issue was with that dickhead who screwed them out of money, see the torrentfreak articles about it. And add to it that many were pissed on rapidgator for limiting premium users, and then there was the uploaded mass premium accounts wipeout. A lot of people flogged to MEGA after that.
[-] -lockdownv2- | 1 points

hi everyone, thought id make an account and give some good news. I was downloading a large 45gig file an hour ago and it was split in 4.9gig pieces. I normally have 3 files downloading at once, so it started doing that. what surprised me though, was the fact it didn't stop after it downloaded more than 5 gigs. in fact it finished one and didn't start another part, but continued downloading the other 2 files. I managed to download 15gigs on one sitting. I hope they don't patch this either. so the workaround is as follows, in settings indicate a larger number of parallel downloads, maybe 3 or 5. I have yet to try another batch of files, but I will update the thread if I succeed.
This seems to work. Make sure your file is under 5 gigs each, add them all in one batch, match the amount of files with the number of parallel downloads in your settings if you want to finish in one shot and go for it.
[-] indominusspecks | 3 points
This only works for the first package of files you download. If you download a second package the same problem will occur. Ex: I downloaded Black Ops 2 (20 or so gigs) with like 5 parts with 5 parallel downloads. But, when I went to download a second game, the download speed stalled and I had to use my vpn again.
So make sure you shove all the files you want to download into one package and then download with # of parallel downloads = # of files.
Yes you are correct about how it only works with your first batch of files, i should have been more clear. Putting it all in one package is the best way to do it. Ive had some instances where ive downloaded 4 gigs, then a larger file (about 25 gigs) after in parallel and it downloaded completely, though sometimes, one of those parts i downloaded didnt complete. Meaning that you dont necessarily have to start from scratch, you can maximize how much you download by insuring that at least one of the files in your batch doesnt take you over your 5 gig limit. The rest will download regularly.
[-] JonastheMinotaur | 13 points
Wow, this sucks considering I've only been using Mega for a couple of weeks now. I understand why they did it, but it sucks that I haven't been able to enjoy it more.
I just used megadownloader with a vpn ( CyberGhost premium, and no i didn't buy it ) and it worked perfectly, down speed was 5/6mbs no matter the server was. When a download stops i just change server.. Idk why everyone is crying about it but i just downloaded like 7/8 GBs without a problem..

Maybe using steganography to upload rar as jpg files. Flickr and Google Photos have unlimited space for that. And Kameleon 2.0 seems to be a great software.. https://kamaleon.softonic.com
Not unless they figure it out and start processing the images... there's nothing like a GD stripping images of everything nonessential.
It's just so profitable for companies to compress the heck out of your images - not to mention then have an algorithm that tells it lots and lots of your images are now indistinguishable, and delete the 'redundant copies' of them.
We'd ideally want a file splitter that stegos them into something which only uses data above the imagehosts' image compression cutoff threshold.

[-] capoazzlack | 29 points
I see your point. But
a) its end-to-end encrypted, not sure if mega knows what you are downloading
b) they have never done anything against the owners of accounts used to share pirated copies. Some of the big collections from this sub were uploaded to paid-for accounts.
c) and last but not least.. they offer a lot of payment methods, some of which might be anonymously (bitcoin, PSC)

One of my favorite things about MEGA (and the previous incarnation Megaupload) is that it had a very high retention rate. You could find a MEGA link 2 or 3 years old and the files could still be online. With most other filelockers you're lucky thier links are still online after 6 months :(
The best alternatives to MEGA right now are either google drive or amazon cloud. But those services are also some of the most susceptible to DCMA takedown requests.
And both can easily do content matching since the files aren't encrypted.
Okay so what if someone were to attatch a small animation to the lets say movie they uploaded to gdrive. Would that be able to match? Or what if people split up the movies into parts or even .rar/.zip. My biggest point is why not compress the movie into several different .rar's and then the user just has to extract the first part. Good idea??
[-] nyuszika7h | 1 points
That's not necessarily true. I've seen many MEGA links which had been already taken down by the time I got there.
[-] nyuszika7h | 1 points
Some of these delete files after a specific amount of time (lewd.se deletes files after 90 days). You should also mention that in your post. Also, another one is nya.is, max 3 GB, stored for an unlimited time.
This most likely happened because of the guy yesterday who made a script to make hundreds of mega accounts at once. Now they are locking down their shit.
[-] douhaveanygreypoupon | 18 points
Not really, mega were already in the process of restricting their services. first it was the storage quota and now it's the bandwidth. They want to push you towards a paid account, a downloader would've had no use for a paid account while 3rd party tools could bypass their limits.
If they were truly interested in locking down their registration they could easily implement IP checks, captchas or even SMS verification to really fuck people over.

my suggestion is if you plan on uploading some large files, to split them into parts smaller than 5GB, that way it should be possible to download all the parts in one go.

Tested earlier today using parallel downloading of 20 parts, total download was much more than 5GB. All downloads will start and finish as long as the bandwidth limit has not been exceeded at time of download.

If you don't you mind me asking, how do you split a single download into multiple parts on megadownloader?
For example, if there is a 4.90 gig file I want to download, how would I split that up into 4 different files?

That pCloud gives you 20GB (which certainly aint 50 like mega) & I think it has unlimited download and upload speed
[-] douhaveanygreypoupon | 10 points
pCloud is misleading. You're given 10GB initially, the remaining 10GB is unlocked by inviting other people and having them upload. To unlock the full 20GB you need to invite 10 other people (you're awarded 1GB extra per person).
The shared links also only have 50GB of bandwidth per month; for a sub that is nearing 1,000+ concurrent users it's not really feasible.

He probably means that due to IPv4 address exhaustion, each ISP gets a limited amount of IP's of v4... meaning clients of those ISP's, will most likely get 1 to 3 static IP's or a different dynamic IP if available. The thing about dynamic IP's on smaller ISP's is that they tend to resurface after a few rotations. Now back to IPv6, it doesn't suffer from address exhaustion, so ISP's can give each client a fairly large number of various global IP's. Since MEGA limits traffic per IP, it would be a lot easier to get a fresh IP on every request. Bottom side, MEGA sees that and might do a block restriction (since the idea is not for people to get restricted but for them to cough up the fukkin 5 euro per month for the plethora of data everyone leeches), in which case, neither ForceBlade nor devendo don't get networking, either. So you lost nothing...
[-] loudambiance | 1 points
Or, my ISP assigns me a range of IPv6 (fairly large range), that I setup in my router. My router then assigns IPs in that range. So, I can self rotate inside that range all I want, and have thousands of IPs to switch between.

What do they do? Do they upload it into the cloud and let the user download it from their servers at a faster rate? Im not sure how it all works.
the file stays on the persons computer/server and someone downloads it from that person using the torrent protocol, now two people have the same file.. a third begins to download except now the third is receiving the file from two people at once so it will be faster... so on and so forth.

Really happy I had a datahoarding binge these past few weeks (due to finally using plex) and downloaded a shit ton of stuff from MEGA before they blocked it. I think I downloaded enough content lto last for a while. I just hate I might have to go back to relying on mostly torrents again.
I must have used over 2-4TB of bandwidth from MEGA this past month. I just wished I downloaded more comics/manga that was posted on this subreddit before it was too late.
damn man!!
I didnt have enough hdd :( I could have download films for a year
[-] Pinecallado | 2 points
I did some "spring cleaning" with my 2 5TB HDDs and managed to find a few extra TBs of space. Then I brought a refurbished 3TB HDD on sale for under $60 on ebay.
This huge movie pack post influenced me to buy the 3tb drive (I didn't download everything though). 2017 seems like such an awful year for public trackers or filehosters.
https://www.reddit.com/r/megalinks/comments/66x012/movie_pack1080pblurayx264196tb/
And what's shitty is that the caliber of torrent sites has really dwindled in the last couple years. Losing Kickass, Yify (i know there are alts up, but they're just not the same in terms of content), and ExtraTorrents all in the last year has been rough.

wait, is that really $120 a year for unlimited storage? can you mount it and write an encrypted file system? that was one of the early draws to something like AWS and jungle disk.

Google isnt currently enforcing that 1 user limit, i currently have 4.8TB with only 1 user
oh well it was fun while it lasted. $5 for 1TB transfer isn't a bad deal anyway
[-] veniversumv | 6 points
Hey, I'm not sure how helpful this will be, but I just got the 5$/month deal without actually having to pay for it. There's an app called google opinion rewards that allows you to earn google play credit by taking surveys. It took me a couple months to get to $10, but it is a form of payment that's accepted by Mega. If anyone like me happens to already be doing these surveys, they can use the credit.
Hope this helps!
Maybe it works in USA because in UK, I dont get much credit = no much survey. If I get one, they gave we 0.10 :>
[-] veniversumv | 3 points
I've been using it here in Germany, which i'm not 100% sure changes the surveys, but my carrier here is o2 and it took me a while to start earning more for each survey and I get them a lot more frequently now than in the beginning. This method would be best used by someone who, like me, just got lucky and has already been using it :/

You needed Megadownloader for the appid refresh (aka to download unlimited). Now you need to keep your appid to download from your traffic. Use JD2 instead, since Megadownloader just became obsolete, come back if things revert. On a side note, if everyone in need of MEGA coughed up the 5$/€, in a few months they would get enough money to be safe for a while.

Alright so I tried using the first solution in OP and it works well.
I used a FREE vpn called Betternet which claims to have no bandwidth limit.
https://www.betternet.co/
I went into incognito mode on chrome and copied my mega link into megadownloader. I then clicked "Connect" on the Betternet desktop app. Afterwards I added the links and started the download. The bandwidth is throttled but I'm still getting a decent download speed. I'm getting around 4-7 MB/s whereas I usually get 17/18 MB/s. And this is with 2/3 parallel downloads. Also whenever the download speed drops to 0.00 B/s or megadownloader appears to stall or there's an error in one of the downloads, I disconnect from Betternet then reconnect and it resumes downloading. Whenever you do this it changes your IP.
I tried this method on 3 separate 10 gig downloads and it worked consistently. Although it's definitely not as fast as before, it still works very well.
This worked for me! Thanks ^^
[-] PM_YOUR_PETITE_TITS | 1 points

[-] sagethesausage_911 | 1 points
Thanks for the vpn!
When i'm on mega website, I can't restart the download without refreshing the page (which causes the download to start over) And with the mega downloader app, it doesn't even start. Why did you say that you go into incognito mode on chrome, and then you talk about megadownloader ? It's not related to the browser, is it ? It works half way for me, but now I need help to figure out how you set it up so that you can continue the download after disconnecting/reconnecting the VPN, without starting all over again.
Halp, plz ! :)
[-] indominusspecks | 2 points
Ok so sometimes I've found that even after disconnecting reconnecting the vpn, the download speed will still stall. So, I first pause the current download and exit megadownloader. I then disconnect the vpn. After that I reconnect the vpn and open up megadownloader again. It should work, but if it doesn't just play around with disconnecting vpn and pause/exiting megadownloader.
Also I've been using the desktop version of the app (not sure if you have been too) and my downloads usually start after mega verifies the files. I haven't had any problems with that.
I mentioned the incognito thing because I made a mega account (too lazy to sign out) and didn't know if it would affect how much I could download after the bandwidth limit.
Note: I forgot to mention in my original post that whenever you get an ERROR in your files you have to right-click and reset the download so you can start it over.
Another Note: I've noticed that if you are about to start your first download of the day (if you have a package of say like 6 files of a tv show greater than 10 gigs) if you set the number of parallel downloads to 6 (number of files you're downloading), mega will ignore the download limit and download all 10 gigs of the package. However this only works for the first package you download, but the download speed is much, much faster. After that it's back the vpn.
[-] _SirNando_ | 5 points
I had the same issue, I guess until a patch on jdownloader come out I'll stick to the old "disconnect and reconnect the router"
You know Jdownloader actually has a ton of scripts to restart your router / renew DNS automatically? Go to the Settings->Reconnect.
[-] TimeLord-007 | 2 points
So can we still download using this method?
You may be able to automatically get your internet provider to issue you a new ip address which will allow you to download again. It depends on the type of router and firmware you have and whether or not your provider gave you a dynamic ip address (which they most likely have, usually you have to request and possibly pay more for a static ip).
[-] TimeLord-007 | 1 points
So I have comcast, and their router. I tried ipconfig /renew but that doesn't change my global ip. JDownloader doesn't have a script either, and the webinterface doesn't help. Could you tell me more about Reset-TCPIP.exe?
I'm not up to date on that, but you can try the UPNP method and see if it locates your router. It might work, I just tested it and it worked for me.
[-] TimeLord-007 | 1 points
UPNP method
I have UPNP enabled on my router, the advertisement period is 30 minutes, time to hop is 5. I also turned zero onfig on. What else do you think I need to do?
[-] LeThisLeThatLeNO | 1 points
Comcast gives out static IPs for most residential customers so I don't think this method would work. Get a portable hotspot from T-Mobile, it's dynamic and the download speeds are better than my Comcast line.

So...if you stop it at 5GB, restart your router and get a new IP address it will continue to download? Assuming of course that you have dynamic IP.

So, people are talking about changing the filehoster, which would be such a shame since this sub already made it to 40k subs by the power of mega, but the stated alternatives are hosters I personally never heard of, and neither have many people here. If we moved to one of those unknown and, for some people, "weird" hosters because they might be more complicated and what not, this sub would loose the majority of its readers. Maybe some uploaders, too. Also storage caps would prevent bigger files which is just shit. Finally, the point I wanted to make this whole time: what about Zippyshare? It´s free and has neither a storage, nor a download cap, which is so perfect for our needs. Correct me if i´m wrong or missed something about this hoster, but when I used it, it worked great.

IDK, try with incognito more.

Doesn't help. When you switch accounts in the Windows application it says that it detected that you switched accounts and to go back to the original account to continue using it. Incognito doesn't come into the picture

i thought this rule will not last for long because 5gb is way too small for a 50gb space. my win 7 system backup is 15gb and i have to split it into 3 pieces for later downloading? it's not funny. this rule makes mega lost it's soul: the largest and most reliable free space in the world for backup your important files.

Jdownloader has a reconnect button, it will run a script on your router and change the IP and continue to download. Tested it with a 30GB file last night.... worked like a charm.
[-] Silencement | 3 points
Unless your ISP gave you a static IP.
Isnt it rare that a ISP gives you a static IP. They usually charge extra for that since that would in theory allow you to host amongst other things.
[-] Silencement | 2 points
Depends on the ISP, Free (French ISP) has the option for free, and they even tell you on their support page that you can use it to host a server.
Just found the button, though won't that just be doing the same thing that Megadownloader and Jdownloader did to bypass the limit anyway, which seemingly doesnt work?
I used it last night on a 30GB file and it worked like a charm, I had hit my bandwidth cap (5GB) and I hit the button...it identified my router and then ran a script. 3 seconds later it continued to download
[-] Someonethatisnthim | 1 points
I'm guessing you have dynamic IP?
otherwise I don't see how this would work...

It is much easier than doing a restart/renewing your IP every 5gb.

TIP: When you use UltraSurf the download speed drops a lot, so you activate it, open MegaUploader and add the links you want to download. Once you start downloading, simply close UltraSurf and the speed will come back up. UltraSurf 16.03 https://mega.nz/#!VaoSibjJ!3IQqvzPfhRc7ZvvdvpeXTlFbzzsHOhaPNn06RanIHhg

the phone mega app does not have a limit so im downloading everything on my phone then transferring it to my pc
This worked for me, downloaded a 5.8gb file right to my phone (iOS) and then dragged it out of itunes into a folder on my pc.

How did you go about dragging it out of itunes? where is it stored inside of itunes?
Click on the little iphone icon in itunes to bring up the menu to manage your iphone, click on Apps, scroll down the bottom of that page. There will be a File Sharing section, click on the Mega app and then you should see your file in the Documents pane to the right. Then just drag the file out of there into a folder on your pc.

Has anyone tried this in an emulator?
Just tried it in Koplayer android emulator, there is a download cap however it seems to be significantly larger, around 3.3 GB.
EDIT - Using a desktop VPN I was able to download most of the remaining file, the app appeared to glitch and wouldn't show how much it has downloaded in the notification bar but in the application a progress bar did show. It did stop downloading however a few force stops of the app and re connections of the VPN and the remainder of the file finished downloading
Good find... I've used up the desktop 5gb traffic, then proceeded to download on the phone and it went on without a problem. The desktop traffic however increased, it's possible there's a limit here as well. I'll investigate further. Update: unfortunately it's not a working solution. It does however bypass the 5GB / 6h limit we have on desktop, up to 15GB after which the app crashes. Update 2: aaaaaand not anymore. At 5GB the app crashes...

For those saying Mega allows you to download 5 GB, you're lying. I've just tried to download something and it stopped around 1.55 GB. It sucks now.
That depends on the country where you are connected to the internet.
[-] rogellparadox | 1 points
This is pretty sh*tty. They say 5 GB and now it depends on the country.... damn it!
if you aren't in the US you'll have something beetwen 500mb-1,5mb No long time ago, the US were the only country without limit so using vpn gived you unlimited download
the US were the only country without limit so using vpn gived you unlimited download
That was like...never.
it's true, originally the limit were used to give priority to US users, i'm from Chile and had the limit, so activate a US vpn and the limit dissapeared always
GUYS!
I don't know if someone else mentioned this before, but, I just successfully downloaded about 12GB from MEGA without any problem.
How did I fix the limit issue? I just add my Free account to JDownloader and that it. I did this long ago when the bandwidth limit started to be a problem and since then, I haven't had any more problems. Give it a go!
Cheers!
Edit1: I never had to change IP or do any crazy trick to bypass any limits and I download a lot! At least 50GB daily!
Right now it works for some links, like if i want to download a game it will download some links, not all of them. Some still stay at 0.00KB/s in Megadownloader.
Some1 confirm if JDownloader is working better than megadownloader.

For those of you who are still looking for VPNs, I got VPNbook. It's totally free and it works really good. If anyone needs any additional info just PM me, glad to help my fellow pirates.
(VPNbook gives you US, EUR, and GER IP locations. As I said earlier. TOTALLY free, no limits)
here's what i did:
get a new google account, then create your new mega account with it, go to settings section and see this 'achievements' thing, install megasync, in a few days see a message in your mailbox saying you get 40 gb of transfer quota for 180 days.
for me it was simple. it worked.
achievments thing? wut?
'mega.nz/fm/account/achievements' (only for those with new account)
hmmmmm, i did it, new google account, create my new mega acc with my new google acc, and cannot see the achievment stuff, can you screenshot or something? xD please :3

In what country you live? Maybe using a VPN with an IP of your country maybe help
Ahhh, gotta love how everyone becomes greedy once they reach a certain threshold of popularity. Are the premium subscribers and donations not enough? After seeing this guys house he hardly looks like he's struggling.
Can't just let people download as much as they want nooo, gotta make sure to limit it to something lower than 10GB then actively go after the 0.01% users that find a way to bypass that draconian limit.

Anyone reading this here is my solution. Got Private internet access. Add files to Megadownloader. Hits error bandwidth reached change ips and hit reset. It finishes it. I chose this over mega pro or whatever because I can use the VPN for torrents too for content that isn't on here. Works great for me and the speeds are comparable for what I get internet speed wise with no VPN. I know it's listed but figured some specific VPN info would help

How to use the Opera VPN method: With Opera browser enable OperaVPN in the settings page. Once quota is reached DO NOT switch to a different country. Disable the VPN from the settings page and then re-enable from the settings page.
Switching the VPN on and off or switching to a different country does not bypass the quota. Go to settings.

This method doesn't appear to be working for me, are you downloading through the browser? Does it still work for you?

Yes use the browser. It works for downloads with many files like a series, as you can continue from the last file downloaded, but if the file is let's say a 10 Gig .rar file then it may not work.

You will eventually hit the limit as well. Downloaded GB' are added together and once you hit the 5GB limit then the 8 hour timer starts.

thanks for the fast reply..so i'd be able to download 5 gbs each day ? thats more than enough for me :D

Pretty much the opposite of a power user.

1TB + 15GB / day for me... could be different for you. You can get what you need from Mega within that traffic, and the rest from somewhere else.
you saying that i can get plus 450GB with the 1TB account?
I bought one this morning, so far I've downloaded what it shows in the traffic counter plus another 15GB, which doesn't show there. It's all based on appid, I didn't go into detail, but I'll check tomorrow to see if the counter upps on the first 15GB. Otherwise, just logging on with a free account, and using those 15GB should make it alright, then switching back to premium. Update: yeah, downloaded 18GB so far, counter upped by 13. 5GB free every 6 hours, or so. In 6 hours it'll probably do that again.

Just a fair warning, I'm using them and OpenVPN. NONE of my attempts through about 18 of the avaliable ovpn sites/countries of theirs have worked yet. Perhaps don't waste your money
PIA How could they? They're not giving you an unlimited amount of ip's to hide behind, they give you one, probably for many customers the same one and MEGA limits traffic mainly based on the ip address they see. Funny though, you're willing to pay for that but not for MEGA, actually it's not that funny.

I'm using a VPN that has 100+ servers with SOCKS support. I put all SOCKS supported servers on JD2 according to their best peering. If JD2 founds an limited account, it tries the next VPN on the list. It basically turns to be unlimited, but a few servers can't reach max speeds for me.

NordVPN
[-] Advicethrow705 | 1 points
do you just add those servers to the conection manager and put the VPN IP under host?
Connection Manager and add the servers supported here:
https://nordvpn.com/servers/
Socks5 must be checked.
Get the name on NordVPN's page and add it as a host on JD2. Port is 1080, than add your username and password. Maybe a lot of those servers would not download because probably someone took the same idea, but, for example, for the 292 US servers, all of them have SOCKS5 support, so you might be able at some point.
I get no error message when downloading, but for some reason it just stopped fetching the links from MegaDownloader today when I put it on IDM. Does anybody experience this here?
Because the streaming function doesn't work anymore. Megadownloader can't stream the file to IDM.

Megadownloader's purpose was to bypass the limit... overall it was an unfinished app, abandoned, which gives off a lot of errors. Sometimes it would finish a download but it would have been corrupted. JD2 is a way better app than MD and IDM for downloading from Mega.

Using Tallow works. It diverts traffic through TOR so speeds will be throttled.

Tallow diverts all traffic through TOR, so you'll have a new IP and fool MEGA's download cap. But since it's basically layered proxies, it'll be much slower.

Gonna try your solutions guys, I don't really want it to stop working. Like Jonastheminotaur said, I used megadownloader only a couple weeks, even less than a month.
I never have this problem with JDownloader. I download several GBs a day from mega and it never shows anything like that.
You should try and check it now. Doesn't work

Definitely doesn't work with jdownloader anymore. Cuts off at 5GB with an 8-hour wait to start again.

You can do it either way. For me it was after since I didn't know about the whole limitation few hours ago.
Also a thing you can do: If your PC is always on like mine, just go to options > configuration > general and under connection check "in case of error, retry the download each x minutes" in mega downloader. That way the program will continue to retry the download until 8 hours are passed and then it will simply continue. :)

You've got a good point there. We can only hope for new bypass to surface out but if this limitation is IP based (99% it is) then there would be no way to do it ... :(
i use mega link downloader https://sites.google.com/site/shinchirosplayground/home/mega-link-downloader , when it reaches the 5gb download limit i pause the download and restart the router for a new IP and it continues to download the file after that.

I ended up trying cyberghost, which works good, but i went and bought a $20US lifetime sub to ra4w vpn through pc world's shop.

Both Windscribe and Cyber Ghost look like VPN's... why do you use both?
Two great options, doesn't mean to use both at the same time.
Oh I thought you were trying to hide behind two VPN's at the same time, lol, which would be unnecessary.
Windscribe has 10GB/mo transfer cap which is pretty good for free VPN's apparently. Do you know how many GB's you get on CyberGhost (free)? Their site doesn't seem to say
CyberGhost apparently doesn't have any quota, but you have to wait in a queue and the software has a limitation of 3 hours per connection (you can reconnect, but you have to wait another time in queue and so on...).
Edit: oh, and about Windscribe: if you use the option "Claim Voucher" and enter the code 50GBFREE you will get 50 gb free per month.

That's strange. Do you share your internet with anyone else? Limit is 5gb's (sometimes even a bit more if you are using megadownloader)
You might wanna check if someone that you don't know is using your IP. If that's the case it can lead up to much more trouble than simply being forced to wait in order to download stuff from mega.
[-] GlitchBob452 | 1 points
Nope, just me. Though I think I figured out the cause. I had tossed the link into MegaDownloader, because I didn't want any browser issues (sometimes Chrome or Firefox can run out of memory, generally FF). But behind the timer window, the download had just resumed once the last few seconds counted down. MD and Chrome were both downloading the same file... so that caused it all to fuck up.
I get this all the time. I believe the block doesn't reset after the time has elapsed. It's still looking at the amount you've downloaded in the last 'x' amount of time. Does that make sense?
[-] rogellparadox | 2 points
it's always like that. here I can try to download a single file and it says it has reached the quota... even if I didn't download anything before. so strange...

This has happened since years ago, so, yeah, probably. Srangely, I forgot I have cleaned my browser's cache and hadn't make login previously. I have just made login and now I can download what I wanted in full speed. Or it was just a coincidence...
If you want to use a VPN without giving them a credit card then use PIA and use the pay by gift card option. You give the site the pin codes/id of the card and they will make an account for you with an amount of days of usage the site thinks is appropriate for what you traded them. The site has a list of gift cards they accept like Walmart, Target, Amazon, etc. When I first started out using PIA I gave them a $25 Walmart gift card and got 135-ish days and for some reason when I gave them $20 Walmart gift card I got 78 days so it varies. PIA has a non-rooted android app that works very easily and smoothly. Another positive thing is that with a VPN you get the chance to torrent which allows an even easier method for you to find something when this sub can't provide it, just read up on it if you don't know what you are doing to avoid trouble.
Don't use PIA, use mullvad.
https://thatoneprivacysite.net/choosing-the-best-vpn-for-you/
Why?
I've used PIA before (i have time left on my account too) but stopped using them because i don't like their privacy policy nor their money-back guarantee, their client is also slow to connect and if i recall correctly i had issues with latency with their client and much lower transfer speeds. You should try both services yourself though to see which one is faster for you.
Also, did you check the link?
Here is another:
https://thatoneprivacysite.net
What i like about Mullvad is their generous offerings with their money-back guarantee (30 days no questions asked), they are stationary across the EU and US and you have various payment options available to you too. I've not had a chance to try out their support yet, but my speeds are on point, loadtimes are fast and it's a nordic VPN provider with a swedish privacy policy with supposedly no NSA, so i am happy.

I used to have a real-debrid/all-debrid premium account when megaupload went down and the "hosting-scene" scattered. Does anyone use them with mega right now to bypass this problem?

[-] ravvydevvy | 6 points
/u/zoemu , /u/SpiinDeX is correct that Opera VPN (any free VPN service for that matter), is suspect to similar terms. Opera's Free VPN is handled by another 3rd party and you're pretty much going down an uncontrollable spiral of intrusive privacy policies & terms of usage on top of more and more partnering platforms; it simply gets worse.
Please refer to my earlier comment within this same thread here (includes extensively unbiased details & neutral references on how to choose a paid VPN service best for you):

Sort of related... Opera was recently bought by the Chinese. Talking to a recent employee they only seem interested in the name, getting rid of browser people.

obviously only part of the game but for testing purposes it should give you an idea.

so where can we get Reset-TCPIP.exe ?
[-] electricarrows0 | 1 points
there's a premium link generator called hyperdebrid it supports mega probably if you can directly provide a link to the file
I don't seem to have this problem, I'm up to about 86GB continuous right now with megdownloader. All I do when I get an error is clean completed and reset, while it's a pause for sure it's right back up and going in less than a minute.
[-] minininjatriforceman | 1 points
I just use j downloader I don't have any problems.
Cant the sync protocol be used to bypass this limitation? I cant use megacmd, megadownloader or jdownloader to download large files but megasync works fine so far.
yandex disk
is like the russian gdrive, dont ask what was i downloading from russia the thing is being a russian page it probably doesnt have dmca
even mipony has stopped working error " Object reference not set to an instance of an object" Anyone else getting this?
is it possible to use vidalia to change your ip? and continue downloading?

Opera VPN is not working. I can't not even download 500mb that says Over Quota, if i swtich to a different country it's the same, it says you have to wait X...
[-] eastereggplant | 2 points
How to use the Opera VPN method: With Opera browser enable OperaVPN in the settings page. Once quota is reached DO NOT switch to a different country. Disable the VPN from the settings page and then re-enable from the settings page. Switching the VPN on and off or switching to a different country does not bypass the quota. Go to settings.
Opera VPN it's unstable, taking the download to 0% after some minutes, i'm using the extension ZenMate and it's working good for now :)
700 mb and over quota, ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::(
[-] cheer_up_bot | 2 points
Why is only me with these problem? what you guys do to download more than 700mb and not having the Over Quota? I already tried with VPN :(

I was able to download a 6gb file without switch IP's using mega downloader. I also downloaded the 14gb avatar files with out changing IP's.
The Android app seems to limit at 1.5 GB now. It's possibly to resume the download in another day? Since it generate that .mega file?
[-] Kurosakiuzu | 1 points
Is it possible the reason why MEGA limited it to 5GB again when we used megadownloader, jdownloader, Mipony and etc; is because they been checking on this site by hearing how many of us bypassed the limit when downloading large files? Or they noticed how many people who haven't purchased 1TB and all could download more than 5GB at once? Well, this sucks. I hope there will be something better similar to MEGA.
[-] Belleville951012 | 1 points
Nooooooooooooo!! And I liiiterally just got on to mega
I discovered Megadownloader after it was already nerfed, but I still find it more useful than the standard Megadownload webpage because I can define a target drive and download speed, both of which are very important.
I need an alternative. Something that works like Megadownloader, including the two important features I cited above, but also is able to resume downloads like an app from the mid-90s.
[-] InsertNameOverHere | 1 points
Megadownloader can resume downloads also, I believe there is an option where you can set the downloader to retry interrupted downloads every [random increment of time].
Mined some Ethereum for a week to get MEGA prolite. I really hated how Megadownloader was nerfed.

So does that mean I won't be able to download a file larger than 5 GB and resume it later? I was able to resume downloads for much smaller files after bandwidth was reached but it won't work for files larger than 5GB using JDownloader?
Just posting here so everyone can benifit.
What is currently working for me is when I hit the limit, I close my downloader (megasync) and start my VPN (Windscribe). After it connects, I start Megasync and it starts downloading. After a minute or so, I turn off the VPN and the downloading continues without issues. It does drop for a few seconds but then starts again.
Just seeing this thread now. This is affecting Ananke for macOS as well. If anyone has a solution of macOS please let me know.
That's weird, mine doesn't show the bandwidth limit error. And now I'm downloading GTA IV on megadownloader.
Apparently there's no limit if you download the files on cell phone with mega app: http://i.imgur.com/j5fwsR5.jpg
EDIT: Unfortunately I was only able to download just one more file. VPN seems to be the only solution these days ):
Can anyone confirm that VPN is still working as of yesterday ? I can't bypass 5gb limit using vpn.
Can anyone tell me if megatools is able to resume downloads after reaching the limit ? if so, how ? i'm on ubuntu and i use megatools there, but i'm not sure if just turning on my vpn will resume the downloads.. so any thoughts ?
Hello guys, hope somebody reply me, i am from Latin America, what happen if i pay the Lite plan for a year (49.99 € ) 1Tb per month to download and pay with my mastercard,,,they can track me and arrest me? i download movies, music and tv shows,
Not really since what you download is encrypted... they can only track the encrypted bit count, not the contents, plus most illegal contents get DMCA'd rather than being used as a honey pot. Once the links are marked for deletion, they can't be traced back to any user who uploaded or downloaded. That's the whole point of the MEGA system. Like I said, what's visible from the outside is only the quantity and that's what you pay for. As a side note, you get 1TB+15GB/day... that rounds up to 1.45 TB.
[-] lurkbender | 3 points
You can purchase a plan with Bitcoin too.
[-] Awesome_242 | 0 points
Just to have something cleared up, does that mean i can't download files that are more than 5GB, or i'll get blocked once use 5GB of bandwidth?
Don't worry .You can't pass the limit.You have to wait 7 or 8 hours to continue your download after the limit exceeded.
And it is not always 5 GB .Sometimes mega can change it to even 1.5 GB :(
[-] Awesome_242 | 2 points
well fuck, then i'll just continue using r/opendirectories then. Thanks for the response and clearing up my misconception.
You can resume any download, regardless of how big it is, it doesn't have to be all in one session. What you actually wanted to know.
My question also, but... Clearly something more going on with some downloads I have sitting in JD2 and Mipony(OS X). A couple recent movie links (8-10 GB) will not start, just sit there with the exceeded message (JD2) or endless countdown (Mipony). Comments here suggest that maybe shouldn't be the case. Other things will download, mostly episodic links of less than 5 GB.
[-] Santiagoespanna | 0 points
Well this might help, i used ghost vpn and then opened megadownloader, so i started the download and closed ghost vpn my connection went again fast as normal and the error was gone
You can just wait a few hours and it works again. I haven't tried logging off and on or restarting my computer yet

As far as I understand, the block is based on IP's not on account types (unless you have a premium account)..
And buying shared premium account wouldn't be convenient as it can get banned,bandwidth can be spent a hella lot faster..
I haven't tested since 3 days ago, but for me Megalinks has always worked like this:
Up to about 5GB will Download (I pull in 6.5MB/s using chrome with Mega Extension), download auto resumes if page open after 7 hours.
Different browsers on same internet IP don't fool it, even using different accounts and that's with or without the extension.
HOWEVER switching to a different computer on my LAN has it's own separate 5GB download allowed before the 7Hrs pause.
Umm can we route Jdownloader or Megasync through TOR? TOR will automatically change the IP periodically.
[-] wrinklymonkey | -1 points
Is there really a big problem here? I mean, outside of the hardest of hardcore downloaders, most of us can probably be just fine with 5GB per 7 hours or whatever it is.
For larger files, why don't the mods get together and just look into approving one or two other sites that seem to do a good job with larger files and have decent download speeds without crazy malware? Then we have the same old system for megalinks, with just a few added sites that are known to be good speed and accommodate larger file sizes. Nofile.io seems like a decent choice for larger files, as does Stack (though that requires registration and an invite).
[-] Frodo_Bomb | 10 points
Eh, many of us are used to downloading high-quality movies that are well above 5GB, and many of them too
[-] ipaqmaster | 5 points
That's why I come here to avoid the torrents. Rip that plan then.
[-] oRcNemesis | 6 points
try downloading a game thats 13 parts, 5gb each
[-] wrinklymonkey | 2 points
Like I said, it's not perfect for everyone. And I would consider someone that's downloading a 65GB game to be a hardcore downloader. Most of us are here getting TV shows.
[-] giratina143 | 5 points
idk , even after the 5 gb finishes, and i wait for its time to finish, it doesnt restart, it just adds another 3-7 hours randomly for no reason.
[-] [deleted] | 1 points
Just for using it for music sites, it can be a huge pain in the ass for collectors like myself. Between the discography, bootlegs, and whatever else there's no hope but to pay. I don't mind paying, just a pain in the ass after using MegaDownloader for so long.

June 7, Megadownloader is still working, at least for a 920mb file.

Cant someone just be a bro and get a mega paid acc, and download peoples files and upload them to a google drive or dropbox? Fuck. If i had 10 bucks i would do this and get paid by nudes.

wHY DOESN'T everyone stick to GDRIVE/Google drive, sure it may be 1GB fike size limit per but UNLIMITED downloads, insane speed compared to others, etc,
[-] simplefilmreviews | 10 points
Because Google is FAR more aggressive with copyright content. And the amount of 'views' on the link disappears if it gets too popular.
[-] ipaqmaster | 1 points
And the amount of 'views' on the link disappears if it gets too popular.
The Mega link vanishes if the illegal link gets too popular too. Go figure, the big sites cover their own asses.
[-] CorrosiveBlueberry | 1 points
Yeah, users must always have reupload links cause this dude on a 3ds based forums had tons of DD links on Gdrive, all of them worked 100%.
I love the direct nature of it less or lack of ads and fast speed.
Mega ai'nt bad, if you paid itd be great cause everyone ups to mega.
Is mega the same owner as megaupload was?

GDrive flags files? pretty crazy cause some people host 3ds games up there and the links are NEVER down, probablyy because he included ad.fly to stop bots or make $. Seriously though mega would be decent or good but I download terabytes worth, id have to pay to dl
[-] DecadentIndividual | 3 points
They can block files apparently.
I uploaded a file and the person I was sending it to could not download it. The file itself was pre-flagged.

5gb a day is such a small dl limit often cant even get what i want from there as the files are big...
Must be good for uploader though they must have a reason for using mega

[-] Jambajamba90 | 1 points
You just need to Google for older versions, and copy the url of the file and then in megadownloader click on import the links it will just download it. This way you avoid any server connections and the app just downloads the file. I could be wrong tho

I doubt it can be "fixed", if it was that easy they would "fix" it for all hosts and not just MEGA. They were taking advantage of an exploit that is no longer possible.

lel i use Jdownloader anyways :-i
Just use Reset-TCPIP.exe. (Or restart your Router)
[-] Someonethatisnthim | 14 points
That won't work if you have a static IP
It works great for me. I don't know why a normal user has a static Ip. I always thought you only need one if you want to host a server or something like that^^
[-] lincolnday | 4 points
The majority of service providers in this country issue static addresses with a limited amount of address changes per month, after which they start to charge you for additional changes.
[-] Someonethatisnthim | 3 points
I opted out to pay extra for a static IP because I do a lot of downloading/uploading on private trackers and on some of them you are forced to reset your hash every time your IP changes so it's a no no for me.. :(
and in some other countries you are unable to have dynamic ip's

Use Mypony. No limits on anything.
[-] Someonethatisnthim | 6 points
Apparently mipony doesn't work as well.
I usually don't download more than 5 gigs in a shot. And you can keep downloads queued up in Jdownloader/Megadownloader to resume later once the time limit is up. This isn't really THAT big of a problem.
[-] Someonethatisnthim | 15 points
keep in mind that there are some users who like to download whole TV shows (some of them being 200GB+) in one sitting..
[-] oRcNemesis | 12 points
its actually a BIG problem. the only reason people used mega was because we were able to download limitless content
now, its all gone.
Blame it on Trump?
